A new generation responds to that radical and controversial spirit – Hugh MacDiarmid. Distinguished contemporaries remember the man – his son, Michael and daughter-in-law Deirdre Chapman, Norman MacCaig, Hamish Henderson, Sorley MacLean, Edwin Morgan, George Mackay Brown, Roderick Watson, Pearse Hutchinson, Derick Thomson – and many others, and leading writers and critics of the younger generation including James Robertson, George Gunn, and W N Herbert consider MacDiarmid's legacy.
Robert Alan Jamieson argues for a formal Declaration of Cultural Independence.
Women writers are represented by the winners of the MacDiarmid Centenary Prize and the Scots Language Society's MacDiarmid Tassie 1992 , as well as Sheena Blackhall, Ellie McDonald and Anne Shaw.
